Well, 2022 certainly had it all didn’t it? We were lucky enough to see two total lunar eclipses, the UK had countless Prime Ministers, and the incredible Lionesses finally brought football home. Now as much as the England Women’s team were goals galore, here at Blue Door we hit a lot of our goals too! Here’s a look back at our year and what we’re extremely proud to have achieved.
Making Things Seamless
We’re big on making our team’s lives easier, in fact we’re huge on it. We created and implemented a brand new CRM system for all staff to use and tailor to their needs. It did involve a bit of data migration, but we’re not complaining now everything is up and running. It has allowed us to streamline our processes, giving us more time and flexibility to work with our Guardians and property owners. Win, win!
Staying In The Loop
There is nothing worse than not knowing what you’re talking about. Here at Blue Door, staff training is always at the top of our Christmas list. We’re proud to have a team who are always keen to learn and progress, which is why we love organising training and staff development days.
Here’s a quick insight, one was all about LinkedIn and knowing how to utilise the platform for specific business needs. Safe to say it worked, with one of our members increasing their following by over 1,200. If you haven’t already, give us a follow on LinkedIn here (not at all a shameless plug!).
Having All The Contacts
They say it’s not what you know, but who you know. Well, we guess we’re out of that old saying because we have both. Thanks to the team’s dedication and hard work, 2022 allowed us to build connections with huge organisations, some of which have over 70,000 properties in their portfolios and 300 sites across London.
We don’t like to slow down either, we’re part of over 20 industry-related groups and memberships to make sure we’re always in the know about all things property and guardianships.
Starring On The Big Screen
If you’re signed up to our newsletter and have read our blog, then you’re bound to have seen the news about us being on the big screen. We were honoured and lucky enough to have been asked to work on Shelter’s 2022 Christmas TV campaign. We can’t stress enough the importance and incredible work this charity does. You can learn more about our involvement here.
Safety Is Key
Health and wellbeing has always been at the forefront of Blue Door and that didn’t slip in 2022, and will certainly continue in 2023. Our incredible health and safety team created, introduced and rolled out a brand new Safety Management System (SMS) to help manage safety risks. This allowed us to have structured processes for daily business functions and tasks. Our team even went that step further (like they always do!) and provided company-wide training and resources so everyone is aware of the new system.
Providing Flexibility
If the past couple years have taught us anything, it’s all about having the procedures in place to offer flexibility for your team. One of our project manager’s opened up our flexible way of working for our property owners and Guardians too. By creating various resources such as presentations, slide decks and documents, it opened us up to a new virtual way of training, onboarding and communication.
Quite surprised we managed to narrow it down to just our top 6 achievements as 2022 really did spoil us. From everyone here at Blue Door, we wish you all the best for 2023 and whatever adventures it may bring. As always, if you have any questions, even if you just fancy a chat, our inbox is always open.
